Connecticut’s Changing Birdlife

DANBURY — The Naugatuck Valley Aubudon Society, Inc, in cooperation with the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Kellogg Environmental Center will host “Connecticut’s Changing Birdlife,” a presentation by Greg Hanisek, on Tuesday, May 17, at 7:30 pm.

The program will be at the Kellogg Environmental Center.

Mr Hanisek, an editor of The Republican-American, will speak on how the birdlife in Connecticut has changed over the years, reflecting changes in the state’s natural landscape, urban sprawl, and the effects of backyard bird feeding.

Kellogg Environmental Center is operated by the DEP Office of Communications and Education.

A donation of $4 per person is being requested for the program.
